escaped the prison the night before on their dry run, but decided the first manhole they reached was not secluded enough. sweat, telling investigators joyce mitchell was supposed to pick them up and drive to west virginia before heading to mexico. >> there were occasions where they heard the helicopters. >> reporter: sweat and matt often tuned into a.m. radio while on the run, changing directions to move to canada. they were very close to being caught several times. >> the sheriff's deputy vehicle pulled up in the vicinity of where they were. they were somewhat surprised. they said matt fell backwards and, you know made some noise, but the sheriff's deputy didn't locate them. >> reporter: wiley telling sweat was hiding in a tree stand used for hunting. we are seeing a graphic image of
4:01 am
matt moments after he was shot. the photo shows matt lying on the ground a gunshot wound to the top of his skull. meanwhile, cnn learns the inmates started planning and may have started cutting through the prison walls six months ago. the scrutiny intensifying on the correctional facility as a dozen employees are on administrative leave, including the superintendent who initially led governor andrew cuomo on a tour of how the convicts broke free. one question has been how could employees not hear power tools going on? sweat is saying they used hacksaws to get out of their cell and saw into the steam pipe not noisy power tools. chris? >> can he be believe snd sweat is talking from the hospital and that's good. he's a self-described escape artist. is it safe to have him there?
4:02 am
that's the question for officials. where does he go next? sara is following that for us at the albany medical center. sara? >> reporter: good morning, chris. his condition continues to improve here at albany medical center, being upgraded from serious to fair yesterday. although officials say he continues to be here he is receiving treatment. he will be here for a few more days and being held in a secure part of the hospital, an area used only for inmates with trained security team. they also have to make a decision when he's healed enough to leave this hospital where does he go? the department of corrections has to make a decision about where to put him for the rest of his life. of course he's serving a life sentence. you know it's very unlikely chris, he will go back to the maximum security prison where he broke out of three weeks ago. he could be considers a hero and a target inside that prison
4:03 am
which would be a security threat. so the department of corrections is going to have to make a decision of where to put him. the district attorney saying it is likely he will spend the rest of his days in solitary confinement. the d.a. saying he will charge him with the escape with burglary and crimes committed on the run and the d.a. saying it is very unlikely he will be given a plea deal. chris? >> sara i'll take it here. thank you so much. breaking overnight flames roar through a historic black south carolina church. the fbi and atf are now investigating what sparked this blaze. there are concerns this could have been arson. it is not the first time this church went up in flames. it was set fire by the kkk back in 1995. the latest incidet comes on the heels of a massacre incidet comes on the heels of a massacre at ame church in charleston.
4:04 am
law enforcement officials are ramping up for the fourth of july weekend. the action coming after authorities got word of a possible terrorist attack from isis supporters here in the united states. pamela brown joins us with this ahead of a long weekend. >> speaking to counterterrorism officials about the weekend. the feeling i'm getting, the sense i'm getting is there is more concern this fourth of july from last fourth of july. they are using social media to reach out and this one coincides with the holy month of ramadan. if they attack now, they will be rewarded more than ever. sources say there is increased chatter leading into this weekend. that is what is behind the fbi bulletin sent out friday. the big concern remains the lone wolf the extremists that could act out any moment. we have seen law enforcement
4:05 am
take action. 49 isis related arrests since the beginning of the year. several this week one in new jersey and recently a queens college student arrested for plotting to plot bombs in new york. we know that in response to this concern tharks local police are going to boost security around the holiday, essential events celebrations where a lot of people will be gathering, particularly nyc and other big cities. there aren't any credible, specific threats at this point. it's very hard given the nature of the isis threat to know what the threats are. >> absolutely pamela thanks for that background. more breaking news. greece may be moving closer to a deal to help finances hours after going into default. there's word this morning, the prime minister may accept an offer, but there's a catch. cnns business correspondent richard quest is live in athens
4:06 am
for us. what is the latest for this deal? >> reporter: absolutely stunning. quite remarkable. extraordinary. the adjectives aren't enough this morning alisyn. this is the letter that the greek government sent to the europeans, basically saying, yes to everything that they said no to only last week. they made some minor changes and made some small requests but the thrust of it is that they are saying all the terms that the europeans were demanding last friday are now agreeable to the greek government. the only problem, since then the country's banks are closed the markets are shut and the country defaulted. we are waiting to hear anytime now from the greek prime minister about why he has done this 180 degrees complete about turn. but, once we know the details,
4:07 am
every way you look at it it's extraordinary. the greek government is now saying yes when it previously said no. chris? >> all right, stay on it for us richard. appreciate the reporting. as if impending inging famine and civil war wasn't enough they are running free after houthi rebels were running around. they were battling to gain control of yemen from the rebels. more fallout from last year's drama in ferguson. a draft report criticizes ferguson police after brown's death. a number of missteps by police in ferguson st. louis city and county and state highway patrol for aggravating tension. that full report is due in a few weeks. 12 prison employees on leave in the wake of a prison break. this as we learn the escapees
4:08 am
made a dry run before they broke out. let's bring in chris, a former assistant director of the criminal investigative division of the fbi. good morning, chris. >> good morning. >> okay you have dealt with hundreds of captured fugitive cases. as you know some of them speak to investigators, some of them don't. why do you think david sweat is telling officials so much? >> well i tell ya that puzzles me. his only bargaining chip was the information he had. so if he didn't make a deal he's passing this information. i'm surprised. he's a smart guy and been around for a while. >> maybe they have to make a deal. do you think the reason is because they have offered him something? >> it's possible. i have heard the d.a. say publicly no deals. i wouldn't take that to the bank. >> his mother has a different take. she says he was always like
4:09 am
this. even as a child, he confessed to his crimes. let's listen to her for a second. >> no he always told on himself all the time when he was a kid. i wasn't really surprised that he did it. i still say to this day, if that woman didn't and whoever else was involved, didn't give him that stuff, those guys would have never broke out of jail. they wouldn't have had nothing to do it with. i blame them as well as the two guys. >> always interesting to hear from a prisoner's mother to see if there's a way to retrace the steps of what they became. what she's saying is she's not using personal responsibility there. she blames the prison officials as much as him. in part you agree. you think there were red flags before this at this prison? >> well there's a grain of truth to what she says. i mean the prison guards and the prison the way the prison
4:10 am
was run from the executive management on down was loose. they ran it like a prison camp. i think the best you can say under these circumstances is the worst you can say is there's criminal activity going on by the guards and maybe higher. >> there were three top prison executives who are now on leave. nine security staffers meaning guards that are also on leave. do you believe that -- does that mean the fact they are on leave, they were involved somehow in this prison break or aware, somehow of this prison break or incompetence? >> well they escaped three weeks ago. if they were -- it seems odd that these suspensions take place right after sweat is captured and right after he begins to talk. i think you can draw a link between the two. obviously, he's provided information about them that is at least suspicious enough for
4:11 am
them to implement the suspensions. now we have the inspector general coming in and the fbi doing a criminal investigation with all their powers the grand jury subpoena for example. great tool. >> you believe it will lead to a racketeering case. what does that mean? >> for about two and a half years, we would look at these type of cases where there's - systemic corruption or alleged corruption inside a prison. you basically have organized crime inside a prison. at least that's the allegations we would receive. if you look at reichers a prison in maryland, that's how the fbi investigated those cases and there were indictments to that effect. bribery, prostitution sounds like organized crime. >> it's not that you believe that people were in on the escape it's that there were so much other corruption happening within the prison that they had
4:12 am
taken their eye off the ball? >> well correct. maybe a little of both. maybe just a general lax attitude in the prison allows and enables the corruption activities to take place. a byproduct of that is they escape in a loose environment. >> given all these administrative leaves something was going on. thanks for your insight in this case. thanks for being on "new day." donald trump is hot on the campaign trail, amid swirling controversy of his comments. trump made a stop in new hampshire. where tlumprump goes t media circus is sure to get in on it. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, the press pack here for trump, it is kind of crazy. the miss usa pageant has become
4:13 am
a casualty of trump's presidential campaign. that's what happened since nbc and univision said they will not broadcast it july 12th because trump owns half of the pageant. now, last night for the first time trump addressed this controversy saying they are abandoning the contestants. >> they left 51 wonderful girls who worked so hard all their lives, to become a representative and go to the miss usa pageant. what nbc and univision did to these young women was disgraceful. >> reporter: now, some of the biggest applause lines were when trump went after nbc and univision. so far, he's only suing one of them univision for $500 million because of the contract that's been broken over the pageant. what is going to happen to miss usa?
4:14 am
both the co-host and host have dropped out. the contestants are in louisiana. they are ready for the pageant. there are plans to live stream it instead of putting it on television. for trump, this is an issue he is going to push for days. he'll will in louisiana for the pageant. he will continue to critique the media for sure. >> he is going to make a case when he sits down with don lemon at 10:00 p.m. eastern on cnn. brian covering for us what do you think? >> i think it's interesting to look at the poll numbers and the fact he is surging among republicans. the latest cnn poll he's number two, right after jeb bush. the controversy that he's in has not hurt him at the moment. >> again, as a fantastic expert said earlier, there's a long game. 495 days to go. a very smart field, 14 candidates. this early on how much does it make a difference?
4:15 am
it's early to note. >> all the people applauding him saying think about the young women in this pageant and how they are affected by this. he started this not nbc, not univision. who knows. just because you are seeing somebody doesn't mean you are going to win. this is a big to be continued. >> it will continue here on "new day." how will the donald's comments about mexican immigrants affect his 2016 chances? we are going to put that question to iowa congressman, steve king who is jounging us here on "new day," next. o adopt him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up we both felt it i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said "try aleve". just two pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong and try aleve pm now with an easy open cap.

4:19 am
two big hot button issues driving politics in america today. we are going to discuss both of them. first donald trump, rapists, criminals and drug offenders. he is surging in the polls and gay marriage. the supreme court says it is one way. others are saying this is the biggest violation in history. steve king a republican from iowa is on the house judiciary committee and the chairman of the opportunity society. congressman, always a pleasure to have you on "new day," sir. >> my pleasure good morning, chris. >> so you, in the past have had trouble characterizing your position on immigrants when you
4:20 am
made your cantaloupe calves comment. would your advice to donald trump be not to couch his feelings painting immigrants in the ugliest way? >> i would say to donald trump, i appreciate the scrappiness of him when he's attacked by other people he counter attacks and plunges forward and delivers more facts to support the statements he's made. it would be nice if we could always talk nice about these things and couch them. i have done that a lot, but i never get quoted. i heard donald trump on saturday night in iowa make a statement, he pointed out how many kids are coming into the united states illegally from central america are sexually violated and raped. he said 80%. i have been down to the border and the number i come back with is 75% are sexually abused on the way to the united states. i say in donald trump's defense,
4:21 am
somebody is doing that to the kids being raped and abused. it's reasonable to conclude they are mexicans. >> playing with facts, you can make them say what they want. the immigration is zero because many are going back because the opportunity isn't what it used to be. saying they are raped on the way to america is different than saying they are a rapist. you get the distinction. saying you care about border security is one thing, saying they are rapists, druggies and criminals is not just untrue but unfair on some level. don't you agree with that? >> i think what happens is it gets distorted on both sides of this. >> that's what he said congressman. when given the chance hey, do you want to say something else, do you want to take back what you said? he said no i'm 100% right.
4:22 am
>> chris, he didn't say most mexicans were rapists. he said they are, he's speaking generally of the criminals that are doing this. i go back to this point. i go down there, i talk to the people working with these children that are coming across. i have walked through the places where we have built buildings down there to house them. i ask the workers working with them what percentage are abused or raped. they tell me 75%. donald trump says his numbers are 80. it's not far apart. somebody is doing that. you can't be a rape victim without having a rapist. >> you are saying it is other immigrants doing that. i think it's misleading. immigrants are 5% less likely to be in prison than native people here. so to say they are mostly criminals -- >> i don't know about that. that would surprise me when 30% of our prison population are
4:23 am
criminal aliens. >> or people in jail for being illegal immigrants as opposed to what they did hear in committing crimes. let's change topics. gay marriage. the supreme court made a ruling this is an extension of equal protection. you disagree because? >> i'm flabbergasted the court came to that conclusion. by the way, i have history in this. the iowa supreme court came with a similar conclusion in 2009. we voted three of the justices off the state supreme court for that reason. for them to cite the equal protection clause on the 14th amendment, that was ratified in 1868. for the supreme court to take the decision that somehow the people that voted to ratify the 14th amendment in 1868 we would come to the realization they wrote same-sex marriage into that.
4:24 am
no one that voted to ratify that gave it a thought or if they gave it a thought, they weren't thinking they were writing it about that. >> you could say the same thing about race. they were unpopular. people voted to keep blacks and whites from marrying together and eventually the court found, no they count as people, obviously. >> you can say that about race chris, but we had the decision that the people at the same time in 1868 ratified the 13th amendment and the 14th amendment to end slavery and make sure there were equal rights for people all people all god's children with characteristics, not self-proclaims characteristics. that's the distinction here. >> it's a distinction to you, congressman. >> you cannot compare to two things. >> of course you can. they are people. gay people are people brown people are people.
4:25 am
you are saying being gay is not a human characteristic and race is right? that's what you are saying. >> that's correct. once you cross that line there are no -- nothing but characteristics and constitutional protection on the act of 1964 and that is when you cross that line. you get into hate crimes and self-proclaimed behaviors or inclinations. that's within the person. that make that claim. there's not an event verified. >> there's very debatable. talk to lgbt people they say this is as much their essence as any part of them. how does this hurt you saying all people have an equal right to marry whom they want. how does this affect you? >> chris, i have confined my debate through the constitutional rule of law. i have been through this law.
4:26 am
i sued a governor on a similar thing. we went through this in iowa now on the federal level. here is how it is. the constitution does not provide a right to marriage even though the supreme court says it does it does not. if congress decided to pass such a law that mirrored what the supreme court has wrongly ordered, it is unconstitutional. we don't have the authority to impose same-sex marriage. if the states should make those decisions within their legislatures they do have the constitutional right to pass same-sex marriage within the states and they have a right to recognize it. this needs to follow a process, a due process. the people in america have a right to due process, too. black robe judges deciding to transform society at their whim
4:27 am
when two were performing same-sex marriages at the time. >> what is right and what is popular is a different. the recent polls have it like 60/30 that people are in favor of same-sex marriage. let's pick it up another day as we see more reaction. always a pleasure to get your perspective on "new day." >> thank you, chris. the supreme court should not be looking at polls. >> i understand. i was making a point. thank you, sir. michaela? new cnn polling is out with a revealing look at the 2016 field. which republican has front-runner status and can any republican challenge hillary clinton? john king is here in stud owe with the numbers.
4:31 am
that's why i switched from u-verse to xfinity. they have the most free on demand tv shows and movies on all my devices. it's perfect for me because my kids are costing me a fortune. i'm going to cabo! [ music plays ] don't settle for u-verse. xfinity is perfect for people who want more entertainment for their money. welcome back. let's get to inside politics with john king. it's so inside he's inside the studio today. great to have you here. >> nice to be here again. >> so much to talk about in terms of politics. let's start with donald trump, shall we? we prepared a match up from his event in new hampshire. it was supposed to be a town
4:32 am
hall meeting. mostly it was donald. >> a show called "the apprentice." it was a tremendous success. some said i made a fantastic speech weeks ago. i employed tens of thousands of people over my life. they do a poll it was a nice poll. they had me second. so first question is which republican candidate do you think would be the best to handle the economy. i blow everyone away. if i'm number one in all the categories and these are the most important categories why not cancel the primary? >> why not just cancel the primary? >> he would like to have it today, if you are donald trump. he does not lack in confidence. that's important. we make fun of him sometimes. part of it is he's out there and confidence. he's mr. trump, not governor trump or senator trump. people don't like politicians.
4:33 am
they want something authentic. like it or not, he's authentic, sort of. the polls have him in second place nationally. jeb bush first. ted cruz, yesterday, thinks donald trump is great. if you look at the bottom of the pack the ted cruises and rubios are losing. three people we thought of as interesting, credible candidates. it will be interesting to see if the republicans go after mr. trump. >> at what point do they come out swinging? there's an opportunity to be the opposite of trump. >> you have the fox and cnn debate. will somebody do it on the campaign trail beforehand? jeb bush thinks trump is wrong in his rant about mexicans. don't disparage the people coming adrosz droszcross the border. republicans are nervous.
4:34 am
they don't think trump is going to be their nominee. they think he will drop out between now and christmas or after iowa next year. what happened to john mccain? what happened to mitt romney? you cannot win if you are losing two-thirds of the latino vote. the demographics don't work. trump won't be there at the end is hurting a brand that is in deep need of repair. >> when he got in the feeling was he might move the debate in the right direction, stop hiding. now, with the harshness about mexican immigrants, you are going to see it projected in a lot of things is he going to silence this? it's one thing, hey, i'm going to take them on. very few want to take on trump. he's a big talker can be reckless. he doesn't care how it turns out. >> it's dangerous in a debate if you take him on directly he comes back at you. >> he's popular and a great talker. >> if you look at the poll, the
4:35 am
economy and health care one, race relations below. it's an interesting question. there's an opportunity and risk taking on trump. the question is how do you do it? the internal calculation of do they need to do it? here is something in the poll that will help the other republicans. if you look at the republicans versus hillary clinton, trump does poorly. down in the poll he's 25 points behind hillary. >> what does that tell you? he's high in his party, but low against her, what does that mean? >> he's getting republicans, but not independents. they don't view him as a president. again, primaries are about ideology. trump was a birther person. he spoke to the dark elements of that movement. now he's on immigration playing to a piece of the republican base that matters. don't discount them. they have serious concerns about immigration. the language he is using to
4:36 am
appeal in my view is way over the line but it can work. the question is where does he win? and does he get that far? that's the big debate. most republicans don't take it seriously. he's at second place in the national poll. there's a brand-new poll out in iowa he's in second place. you can't discount him. part of it is him. part of it is people don't like politicians. >> let's talk about the democratic side. we have a new poll reflecting what's going on there as well. there's an interesting development. hillary clinton, obviously, in first place as she has been all along. the second is joe biden. is there a chance joe biden is going to run? >> people around the vice president say he's going to make his final decision in august. the wall street journal had interesting reporting that as bo was failing, he said go. hunter biden, one of his closest advisers said if that's what you
4:37 am
want to do do it. don't worry that hillary clinton has a big lead. joe biden loves to campaign. whether you agree or disagree he's been a loyal vehicle, often getting the brunt of the work dealing with iraq and afghanistan. not the glorious stuff. yet, do you want to run in your last campaign probably to loose and go back to vice president? it's a tough calculation. he's waiting for his own comfort level and to see. if you look at the national poll clinton is way ahead of everybody. look at iowa and new hampshie. bernie sanders has come up. >> joe biden is going to do well on that level. you can say he says too much. trump is doing well. he makes biden look like a mute. so if it's about trust, biden should not be discounted. >> should not be discounted. the democratic base loves him for his loyalty to the
4:38 am
president. talk about authenticity he is who he is. he's authentic. >> can we pivot to jeb bush releasing 33 years of tax records. he's worth $19 million and $22 million. a level of transparency some might not be ready for. what does he achieve by doing that? >> a lot of scrutiny by releasing this. people are going to look at his business deals. since he left florida, he made a lot of money. some of his partners not great. >> some speaking deals. $10 million on speaking deals. >> there's a part of mitt romney uncomfortable disclosing his wealth and hillary clinton who is far from barack obama said he would be the most transparent president in history. hillary clinton doesn't pass that test. jeb bush says here it is. you don't like it, ask me about it. if i'm doing this how about
4:39 am
you? >> great to have you here. pear more on the prison breakout. we know more this morning. that's up next. up... i'm reworking the menu. mayo, corn dogs... you are so out of here! ahh... the complete balanced nutrition of great tasting ensure. with nine grams of protein... and 26 vitamins and minerals. ensure. take life in.

4:43 am
prison escapee david sweat is talking, giving investigator as lot of information. now, 12 employees, encolluding three executives are on administrative leave from the prison. this investigation is heating up. let's bring in former fbi special agent. great to have you here. david sweat is talking. this is according to state officials. he's talking and telling a lot. he says he was the master mind of this escape. two, he said that he and his cohort did a dry run the night before they escaped where they got close to escaping. let me play for you what the district attorney says about that first attempt at escape. >> they felt that due to there being a number of houses in that area that it might not be a good
4:44 am
spot to exit from and so they located a manhole in between that manhole and the tunnel system where they escaped from. >> okay basically, he's saying the first manhole they came to they looked around and saw there were a lot of houses went back to the prison and went back the next night. why is he giving so much information? >> he's a psychopast. he's going to make himself look like a bigger deal. he knows he's going to be famous. in his mind, he is going to give them as much as he can to get something back. right now, it's a give and take with sweat. sweat holds a key to all the stuff. as he gives out information, whether or not they went to the first manhole or the second manhole, that is inconsequential compared to was there a drug ring in here who helped him. those are the things we want to pull out.
4:45 am
>> what does he get from officials in return? >> there's only going to be so much he can get. first off he's going to have to be protected from the rest of the inmates. there's going to be a lot of people mad at him. the whole prison system is getting a close look now. >> that would be colsolitary confinement. he doesn't want that. how could they figure out where to put him? >> they could give him a choice of three or four prisons to go to. there's small incentives to play with him so he does continue to give them information. he knows he is in for the rest of his life. it's on his best outlook if he does play ball and give them the information they need. >> what do you think of the timing the fact we heard from state officials he was talking, then we heard 12 prison officials from top executives, the superintendent who are now on administrative leave. does that mean he said something
4:46 am
about the prison workers? >> that should have been done immediately. the prison executives and anybody who was guarding or doing guard duty in that area should have been immediately pulled off and other people put in there. the thing that gets me why do we need to know this information? this country is in a form of thinking if we drop bombs in iraq, they want to tell everybody how many bombs they dropped and where we did it. why do we need to know that? >> what is the general harm? >> we don't know if the town is involved. this town is around 2,000 or less people. >> where the prison is? >> it exists for this prison. what if this system that is going on there that is corrupted is bigger than the prison? what if it's the town? we don't know and nobody's asked the question yet, what good it would have done them to get out of jail if there's a drug ring or something going on? if that's the case you have to
4:47 am
look at the bigger picture. were they trying to get to mexico to set up something to get drugs back into the system? we don't know. they ended up in cabins that were owned by corrections offices. that is strange to me. so many coincidences. when you put them together, they are starting to say something. i'm not clear what that thing is yet. i don't think we need to keep giving out the information to other people on the outside that might be involved in this. >> you don't think this was happenstance and a coincidence. you think there could have been something larger going on that the two prisoners were in on? >> i think there could have been. until we know there wasn't the attorneys in this the governor everybody needs to throttle back on how much information they are giving out. this could be potentially bigger than we even think. >> jonathan you have given us new questions to ask. >> that's right. >> thanks so much. great to have you on here again. let's get to chris. misty copeland is making
